Xu Jiaojiao sat in the hall without anything to do, listening to Xu Youde talk about how to repair the house.

How to buy dry straw, how to buy dry wood, how to repair the cracked walls, add some wooden rafters to the beams, buy some plaster or something, if there is a surplus, you can also make a wooden cabinet or something for each room.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't understand much, so she washed and went to sleep.

I have been tired for so many days, boiling loquat ointment every day, and dreaming of boiling loquat ointment.

***

In the second room, the Yuan family had already finished all the housework, and the children were also washed and put on the kang.

On the kang, he was chattering excitedly.

After waiting for a while, Xu Lao Er came back from the upper room.

Yuan's greeted him, gently poured tea and water for Xu Laoer, and urged Xu Laoer to take a bath in the yard before the couple went to the kang.

Erya was still talking to Guya Sanya, "My aunt gave us two horses, do you want the pink or the big red?" ”

"I ...... I still want the pink one, and the big red one will be given to my sister. ”

The two are twins, and the second girl is an hour older than the third girl, but her personality is much bolder than the third one.

"Okay, I can do whatever color I want, the material that my aunt bought for us is a hundred wen a horse, my aunt said, girls should wear beautiful materials, men don't care, as long as it is strong and firm, the second brother, the fourth brother, your material is fifty wen a horse! Hee-hee, it's not as soft as ours, it's good-looking......"

Shiro didn't care, "Why do I want to look good?" I want to be strong and strong, and I can't slip up and down the trees, or my aunt knows me. By the way, mother, when will we make our new clothes? Make me bigger, I've grown taller in the past two years, make me bigger, I can wear one for three or five years, and I can pick up the old one for the little six......"

Sanya smiled, "Mother, make it for my father, second brother, and fourth brother first, and I and the second sister's clothes, we can make them ourselves, by the way, mother, should we give them to grandma, auntie, and they do it first?" ”

Saying this, Erya replied, "Then it must be grandma and aunt first." However, I can help her make my aunt's clothes, mother, you will be grandma's first ......"

Although Er Ya and Sanya rarely make new clothes, the skills of female celebrities are still good.

I haven't made new clothes for myself, but the new clothes of the family have done a lot, especially Xu Jiaojiao's clothes, which were basically made by Er Ya in previous years, Er Ya will sew old clothes at the age of seven or eight, and make new clothes at the age of ten.

This is the first cloth of their own in their lives, and they are eager to try and rub their fists.

From the moment she got the fabric, she was thinking about what to do.

Shiro sighed with emotion, "Well, second sister, you do it for my aunt first, give priority to my aunt in everything, we are not in a hurry, my aunt is really good, not only pay us wages, but also buy delicious food, buy fabrics, and repair the roof for us, I like my aunt." ”

Xu Lao Er took over the topic, "Your father said, start repairing the roof tomorrow, sooner rather than later, save it from sudden and heavy rain, you can hire a few workers, renovate it well, and it can be repaired in two or three days, and you will no longer be afraid of rain in the middle of the night when you sleep, and you can sleep more steadily......

"Good! Start repairing the roof tomorrow! I'm going to help too. ”

"We're a girl's family, so we can't help, so I'll make clothes first! Mother, you are better than me, you help me dismantle the shape, I'll sew it a little easier, okay? ”

The people in the room were talking hotly.

When Yuan Shi heard this, he coughed lightly, "Erya, Sanya, Shiro, you are still young, you don't need to wear new clothes, when you are growing taller, you can just wear old clothes, you look at other people's homes, how can anyone make new clothes without New Year's Day?" Our family is not a big family, your aunt bought new materials for your good, but now she makes new clothes and wears them out, isn't it eye-catching? ”

Sanya is simpler, "My mother is right, then let's keep it for the New Year, and when the New Year comes, maybe it will grow a little taller again." ”

Yuan was silent.

"No, that's what my mother meant, your cousin Xiaohai said a family affair, and he is going to get married, and his mother is thinking about taking the material over to your cousin Xiaohai to use as a parent, the material of the second and third girls is just red, happy, take it to the bride as a dowry, Shiro's material will make new clothes for your cousin Xiaohai, as a wedding dress, marriage is a big deal, this material is just right ......to use."

Suddenly, the twitter was so excited that several children were dumbfounded.

Xiaohai's cousin was married, they all knew that the last time grandma came, the Yuan family revealed the news to them.

They were also happy for Cousin Xiaohai.

It's just that they never expected that the Yuan clan hit the idea on the material they finally obtained.

Erya said in a sullen voice, "Mother, I have grown twelve years old with Sanya, and we have not made a new dress......

"It's useless for my mother, it's my mother who is sorry for you, she didn't give birth to you in that rich family, and let you suffer when you were born, and the first new material was bought by your aunt. However, my mother has no choice, your cousin Xiaohai is the eldest grandson of the old Yuan family, he is eighteen years old, he only said he was close this year, and the family has no money, so I thought about using your fabrics to help, and I can subsidize a little bit is a little, otherwise, no one wants your cousin Xiaohai, your cousin Xiaohai is getting older and older......" The more Yuan said, the more his voice choked.

As soon as Yuan cried, several children were silenced.

Xu Lao Er felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and said, "Erya, Sanya, you are going to get married in a few years, the man will naturally bring new materials over and make wedding clothes for you, and it will be the same to wear new clothes when the time comes. It's not a particularly poor family, like Xuehua's family, their sisters have a skirt, whoever goes out wears it, you have an old aunt here, and you can't finish picking up the old aunt. ”

Usually, Xu Lao Er said very little, but he saw that Yuan was crying and anxious, so he said this.

Several children were silent when they saw their mothers crying.

The previous excitement turned into silence.

My father and mother have spoken, can you not listen?!

It's just a pity that such a good material and such a beautiful color......

Shiro was young, and he couldn't seem to think of the new clothes, so he whispered, "Mother, I've always wanted to buy an iron bead and make a fast-spinning top, can you give me a penny from my salary, I ......"

Yuan Shi replied without thinking, "It's just a thing to play, do you still need to spend money to buy it?" We are poor people who don't want such luxury, and it's not that the spinning top without iron beads can't be turned. ”
